Here in Barden we are delighted to be working with a leading pharmaceutical company in their search for an experienced mechanical Engineer who will play a pivotal role in managing critical site services, facilities, and equipment as they continue to grow.

This role is about more than just keeping systems running – it’s about leading a team, shaping operations, and driving continuous improvement in a fast-paced, highly regulated environment.

This opportunity offers the best of both worlds – the stability of an established global player and the dynamism of a growing business. You’ll be part of a supportive, people-first culture, where openness, flexibility and continuous learning are valued.

This is your chance to step into a role where your expertise will have a direct impact on operational excellence, compliance, and ultimately, on patients’ lives.

  • Taking ownership of site facilities including WWTP, Tank Farm, Solvent Recovery, Utilities, Incineration and Waste Management.
  • Leading a high-performing Technical Services team, developing capability and fostering a culture of accountability and excellence.
  • Partnering with Production, Supply Chain and QA to ensure seamless operations and alignment across the business.
  • Overseeing asset lifecycle management – from maintenance planning to plant optimisation and investment planning.
  • Ensuring compliance with environmental, safety and GMP standards – always audit-ready.
  • Managing resources, budgets and energy efficiency initiatives to support site and corporate objectives.

ABOUT THE PERSON:

  • An engineering background and at least 5 years of experience in pharma, chemical or process-driven industries.
  • Strong leadership skills, with the ability to inspire, guide and develop teams.
  • A pragmatic, solutions-focused approach – someone who thrives on challenges and embraces change.
  • Confidence in compliance, documentation and regulatory requirements.
  • A collaborative, communicative style – able to influence and build relationships across the organisation.
